Mr. Muskrat, thank you for your clear suggestions. I wish to clarify somethings that may have been misunderstood.

In your summary, item #1, I am using /usr/bin/perlml as my executable. This is because when I go to the Perl Module section of cPanel it states: "Using Your Perl Module(s) Your Perl script needs to know how to find the modules in your path. You can do this by adding one of the two choices below to the top of your script: #!/usr/bin/perl use cPanelUserConfig; or #!/usr/bin/perlml".

In your summary, item #2, my assumption is that since the cPanel instructed me to use "#!/usr/bin/perlml", that the installation of DBD::mysql via the cPanel would be using "#!/usr/bin/perlml".

In your summary, item #3, I did not transfer any of the perl modules from the old server to the new. I only moved the webpage scripts and mysql database data. I am relying upon the install version of perl on the new server and all new installations of modules.

As for the various versions. Again from cPanel, Perl is version 5.10.1 and DBD::mysql is vesion 4.033.

Okay, fair enough but your responses prompt more questions.

If cPanel installs modules where /usr/bin/perlml can find them, why did you modifying @INC in the BEGIN block? What is actually stored in the perl and perl5 subdirectory structures in /home/jeffer36?

On the new server, there is a perl folder and a perl5 folder. My original webpage script was pointing to the perl folder

BEGIN {
    my $base_module_dir = (-d '/home/jeffer36/perl' ? '/home/jeffer36/
+perl' : ( getpwuid($>) )[7] . '/perl/');
    unshift @INC, map { $base_module_dir . $_ } @INC;
[download]

This produced an error because mysql.pm is located in perl5. So I added

unshift @INC, '/home/jeffer36/perl5/lib/perl5','/home/jeffer36/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux','/home/jeffer36/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux/Bundle';

It now finds mysql.pm but does not work.

my assumption is that since the cPanel instructed me to use "#!/usr/bin/perlml", that the installation of DBD::mysql via the cPanel would be sing "#!/usr/bin/perlml".

Seems to me that their advice is to use either /usr/bin/perl or /usr/bin/perlml. I would suggest giving /usr/bin/perl a try (if you haven't already).

Cheers,
Rob
